The Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin Endowment will fund 43 new projects to improve community health, advance health research, and develop the state’s health workforce.
The funding covers eligible expenses incurred by project teams over a 24-month period starting on July 1.
AHW awarded 24 grants totaling $5.9 million to community-based organizations throughout Wisconsin. Nine of the community-focused grants support projects statewide, while 12 projects focus on urban centers and three are in rural communities.
Funded projects, which can be found online, directly affect 20 Wisconsin counties.
Additionally, AHW is funding 19 research projects with grants totaling $4.7 million.
“These Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin Endowment Momentum Grants reflect the power of partnership, research and community-centered work to improve health across Wisconsin,” Cheryl Maurana, AHW’s interim executive director, said in a statement.
“We are grateful for the opportunity to support these outstanding projects at the Medical College of Wisconsin and in communities throughout the state, all in service of advancing health and well-being for the people of Wisconsin.”
